One position for an enthusiastic post-doctoral fellow is available in the laboratory of Pr. Nicolas Levy in the INSERM unit UMR S_910 “Medical Genetics and Functional Genomic”, Marseille Medical School, France. A minimal 2-year post-doctoral funding, provided by a grant from AFM, is available starting March 2011.
The research project focuses on newly identified patho-physiological pathway involved in Facio-Scapulo Humeral Dystrophy that we are investigating. The project involves two main approaches, in vivo analysis of the partner and function of the principal member of this pathway in muscle cells from affected patient and genomics analysis of those patients by up-to-date techniques including high trough-put sequencing, molecular combing… all techniques associated with functional genomics and proteomic analyses.
We propose to understand the mechanism deregulated in muscle cells induced or not by the contraction of the D4Z4 elements. This study will be conducted in the group coordinated by Drs. Martin Krahn and Marc Bartoli.
The “Medical Genetics and Functional Genomic” unit in Marseille Medical School provides an exciting and interactive scientific background, state of the art facilities dedicated to imaging, genomics and an enjoyable environment.
Candidates holding a PhD with a strong background in Molecular and Cell Biology are encouraged to apply. Experience in muscle is preferred but not required.
Candidates interested in this position should send a covering letter stating why they are interested in the position, a full CV with bibliography and addresses of at least two referees to Dr. Martin Krahn and Dr. Marc Bartoli at the addresses below. Only short-listed applicants will be contacted. Interviews will take place in January/February 2011.
